Sins Game Review Thread

One thread to hold them all!

Published on February 3, 2008 By lordkosc In Sins of a Solar Empire

Ok , after the 20 or so preview threads that were all over the darn place, I am making a single location where we can post all the reviews of the game for easy reference.

So once you find a review, post it in the following format:

I hope this will be made sticky by someone from SD.

i predict gamespot to give this game an 8.0 or below.

they wont give it anything higher because of the lack of advertising money and advertising pressure. look at how they have a new c&c or tiberium preview every other week.

They gave some my favorite games, Psychonauts, Take Command Manassas, and Gal Civ 2, good reviews despite minimal advertising or initial interest.

Indeed we will see.

Yeah, Gamespot gets a hard rap sometimes (deservedly so), but they do put up realistic scores on non-triple a games. They did review Europa Universalis III. Did you ever see a marketing campaign for that?

Be patient.
